Opening Bash - your favorite way to kick off NYC Beer Week.

In addition to all that you’ve come to expect from the NYC Brewers Guild and Opening Bash - our festival to kick off NYC Beer Week - we’re working behind the scenes on some very special changes this year!

PLEASE GO TO THE GUILD WEBSITE FOR FULL EVENT INFORMATION

As always at Opening Bash, you can count on our member breweries to be pouring alongside dozens of out of town guest breweries. Some you’ll know well, and others you may not have had a chance to try before.

Some of the basics:
• This will be an unlimited sampling event. Beer tastings are included in your ticket price
• We're planning for VIP-Early Entry Tickets to start at 12:30PM, with staggered GA entry starting at 2PM. We may be extending the hours of the event this year into the early evening. Allowing attendees flexibility in their entry time. More info on that to come!
• Designated Driver tickets will be available in coming days (after the Black Friday/Small Brewery Sunday sale has completed)
• Full list of participating breweries, full schedule of the day, and food partners will be made available as soon as possible
• The NYC Brewers Guild is a non-profit professional organization. By supporting the NYC Brewers Guild and Opening Bash, you’re drinking for a cause. Proceeds from OPENING BASH go to support the NYC Brewers Guild in our mission to advocate for brewers, brewing and celebrating local beer here in New York City. This help us cover programing, education and more to assist our local brewing community.

EVENT SAFETY

As part of our dedication to providing safe and inclusive spaces, environments and events, the Guild works toward offering transparency to our attendees as well those working our events. In addition to our Safety Advocate program, we have worked with our partners at OutSmart, as well as the Women of the Bevolution and Hugging the Bar to instill and enact proper protocols. Our event Code of Conduct will be posted at the event. We can, and will provide more information upon request.
